![]() ![]() Other types of pencil cores, such as those of charcoal, are mainly used for drawing and sketching. Graphite pencils (traditionally known as "lead pencils") produce grey or black marks that are easily erased, but otherwise resistant to moisture, most chemicals, ultraviolet radiation and natural aging. Most pencil cores are made of graphite powder mixed with a clay binder. They are distinct from pens, which dispense liquid or gel ink onto the marked surface. Pencils create marks by physical abrasion, leaving a trail of solid core material that adheres to a sheet of paper or other surface. Solid pigment core (typically graphite, commonly called pencil lead)Ī pencil ( / ˈ p ɛ n s ə l/ ( listen)) is a writing or drawing implement with a solid pigment core in a protective casing that reduces the risk of core breakage, and keeps it from marking the user's hand.They’ll think you’re pretty sharp.Īny topics you want to know more about? Let us know! The Varsity Tutors Blog editors love hearing your feedback and opinions. You might even share a couple of historic pencil facts with your friends. The next time you grab a #2 pencil, think about its evolution. pencil makers use a system known as the HB scale to measure hardness. Like with soccer and the metric system, though, Americans do things a little differently when it comes to pencils. Plus, some technical work such as woodworking or other precise drawing benefits from using a harder, sharper pencil (like a #3 or #4). For example, a #1 pencil is soft and will smudge easily-good for artists, bad for test-takers filling in answer bubbles. Besides the ubiquitous #2, #1, #3, and #4 are used, with number signifying softness.īut why are there so many variations when #2 is so commonly used? Artists need a wider variety of pencil hardness so they can create a larger range of tones. When scannable answer forms became popular, the technology handled #2 pencils best-they had trouble picking up marks from harder pencils, and the softer ones would smudge.Īmericans use a numerical system to label pencils based on hardness. But do you know why? It’s mostly the result of standardized testing. You know that the standard school pencil is a #2. A Philadelphia man patented his idea to attach an eraser to the end of a pencil, but the patent was later invalidated since it was just two existing products stuck together. In the 19th century, people figured out how to cure raw rubber and make it durable, thus beginning the rubber eraser’s current reign. Or maybe that should be peanut butter and bread: before rubber erasers came along, some people further back in history used crustless bread as erasers. The eraser: Pencils and erasers now go together like peanut butter and jelly. Other pencil makers quickly followed suit. ![]() The yellow color, traditionally associated with royalty in China, was meant to portray the pencils as a luxury item. The color: Historical accounts vary, but a Czech company is credited with starting this trend at the World’s Fair in 1889, painting its pencils containing fine graphite from the Far East. But when did pencils start looking the way they do today? When it comes to today’s pencil, there are a few traits you probably associate with it. ![]() The #2 pencil: A sharper styleįrom those early days, the pencil has evolved into the familiar tool we know today. ![]() The Swiss naturalist Conrad Gessner is credited as being the first person to describe putting graphite into a wooden holder. That’s why, to this day, we refer to what’s in a pencil as “lead,” even though it’s not.Įarly on, the graphite was sometimes wrapped in sheepskin or string to make it easier for the writer to hold. People weren’t quite up on chemistry in those days, so it was another couple of centuries before a chemist determined graphite was a form of carbon, not lead as they originally thought. The graphite was pure and solid, perfectly suited for writing, although the only people using it at first were shepherds marking their sheep. In the 1500s, according to common legend, a large deposit of graphite was discovered in England when a storm uprooted it along with a tree. The pencil has been around for ages, although you might not recognize its earlier cousins. Here’s a crash course on how the #2 pencil’s history has been written: The origin of the #2 pencil Without the #2 pencil, how would you have learned to write your name or to divide fractions? But how well do you know the trusty pencil? Have you ever wondered where it came from, or why #2 is often chosen over #1? There is a great deal of history behind the #2 pencil, including its origin, evolution, and current use. We owe a lot to pencils-especially those famous #2 yellows.

I must have a 99% hit rate or higher on converting headband haters with my bands, once they’ve tried them! If you need to try one for yourself to be convinced, I'll send you one before you order. As with the s atin headbands I’ve trawled high and low and there is only one solitary supplier I’ve found where I can purchase good metal bands, and I’m not revealing my source, sorry! The one’s I use aren’t completely rigid, they can be reshaped and moulded to suit each clients head shape. What I need to say is, you need to try the ones I use first before discounting this option. I take on board and agree with every client who complains about how desperately uncomfortable these bands are. The bands I favour, design permitting are metal ones. If the hair is to be worn down then the choice is more limited. ![]() I use velvet as it grips hair gently, a little like velcro, whereas, I think the wrapped satin can be slippery in the hair and not look as neat. For clients who choose this option, I hand stitch an appropriate coloured velvet ribbon around the band before mounting the decorative element on top. Have the headband covered to tone in to your hair colour, thus sitting much more discreetly against the hair. ![]() When hair is worn up I would suggest one of the following options.ĭoing the hair around the headpiece to cover the band, this would mean that the headpiece would have to stay in place all day, generally this probably won’t be a problem, but should be considered.

In November 2016, Google transitioned its translating method to a system called neural machine translation. Moreover, the system automatically identifies foreign languages and translates speech without requiring individuals to tap the microphone button whenever speech translation is needed. It is able to scan text or a picture using the device and have it translated instantly. ![]() In May 2014, Google acquired Word Lens to improve the quality of visual and voice translation. As of February 2010, it was integrated into browsers such as Chrome and was able to pronounce the translated text, automatically recognize words in a picture and spot unfamiliar text and languages. In January 2010, Google introduced an Android app and iOS version in February 2011 to serve as a portable personal interpreter. Despite this, Google initially did not hire experts to resolve this limitation due to the ever-evolving nature of language. Since SMT uses predictive algorithms to translate text, it had poor grammatical accuracy. The input text had to be translated into English first before being translated into the selected language. ![]() Originally, Google Translate was released as a statistical machine translation service. It translates multiple forms of texts and media such as words, phrases and webpages. Google Translate is a web-based free-to-user translation service developed by Google in April 2006. It uses this broader context to help it figure out the most relevant translation, which it then rearranges and adjusts to be more like a human speaking with proper grammar". In November 2016, Google announced that Google Translate would switch to a neural machine translation engine – Google Neural Machine Translation (GNMT) – which translates "whole sentences at a time, rather than just piece by piece. Its accuracy, which has been criticized on several occasions, has been measured to vary greatly across languages. During a translation, it looks for patterns in millions of documents to help decide which words to choose and how to arrange them in the target language. Rather than translating languages directly, it first translates text to English and then pivots to the target language in most of the language combinations it posits in its grid, with a few exceptions including Catalan–Spanish. Launched in April 2006 as a statistical machine translation service, it used United Nations and European Parliament documents and transcripts to gather linguistic data. As of 2022, Google Translate supports 133 languages at various levels it claimed over 500 million total users as of April 2016, with more than 100 billion words translated daily, after the company stated in May 2013 that it served over 200 million people daily. It offers a website interface, a mobile app for Android and iOS, as well as an API that helps developers build browser extensions and software applications. Google Translate is a multilingual neural machine translation service developed by Google to translate text, documents and websites from one language into another.

See the xterm manual page for more information on xterm-options. All arguments to uxterm are passed to xterm without processing the -class and -u8 options should not be specified because they are used by the wrapper. It makes little appreciable difference whether Ubuntu 17.10 ships with 3 separate terminal entries in its launcher or not. uxterm is a wrapper around the xterm(1) program that invokes the latter program with the oqUXTermcq X resource class set. ![]() We don’t get backup apps for anything else!Īnother supposed reason for the inclusion Xterm is to provide a “complete X env”.īut, as Quigley notes in his email, with Wayland very much on the horizon, mightn’t it make more sense to pull in any critical X environment packages explicitly, rather than relying on a terminal emulator to do so? The main difference between XTerm and Terminal is that the gnome-terminal has more features, while XTerm is minimalistic (though it has features that are’t in gnome-terminal, but they are more advanced). But, even assuming it does, is xterm really that much of a benefit when a virtual console is but a combo press of Ctrl + Alt + F2 away? UXTerm is XTerm with support to Unicode characters. The official reason for including Xterm is to ensure there is a backup terminal available should GNOME Terminal have any issues. I only ever use GNOME Terminal, which is the default Ubuntu terminal emulator, or a GNOME Terminal alternative that I go out and install for myself. In an installed setup, those two menu items make gnome-shell have 3 pages instead of 2 in my testing.” ![]() But those differences are, to my end-user eyes at least, not especially self-evident.Ī discussion has kicked off on the Ubuntu desktop mailing list that suggests I am not alone in questioning the value of including quite so many terminals.Ĭanonical’s Brian Quigley explains: “Xterm takes up two menu items (xterm and uxterm) and doesn’t provide any more functionality then gnome-terminal. Naturally I presume there to be some differences between GNOME Terminal, Xterm and UXTerm. But a query that has, from time to time, confused me. It’s a minor little quirk, granted, and something few people will notice. I’ve often wondered why Ubuntu ships with several different terminal apps installed by default. ![]() ![]() Delightful touches - rita peach 6 years ago 15:19 TXXX rita peach.Rita Peach - Great Tits - Does it in Japan 4 years ago 40:45 TXXX rita peach.Rita peach amwf creampie 60fps kinpatu86 0145 4 years ago 45:37 TXXX rita peach.Chesty Rita Peach gives a massage client the happiest of endings 2 years ago 07:59 CrocoTube facesitting, titjob.Massage client with a massive dick is rubbed and fucked by Rita Peach 2 years ago 08:00 CrocoTube rita peach.Sexy Rita Peach treats a massage client to all of herself 2 years ago 08:00 HellPorno rita peach.Dude with a fat dick gets massaged and pleasured by Rita Peach 2 years ago 07:58 BravoTube rita peach.Rita Peach - Rita - Rita Is His Sexy Kitten - My Sexy Kittens 62 2 years ago 16:44 TXXX outdoor.Rita Peach Non-nude PMV 1 year ago 03:58 JizzBunker rita peach.Rita peach 3 years ago 25:39 VideoSection rita peach.Public Outdoor hardcore with cumshot - busty brunette Rita Peach 1 year ago 18:35 xTits rita peach.Fucking On The Massage Table Is Her Wet Dream - Rita Peach gets cum on pussy 1 year ago 08:34 xHand czech, wet.Masseuse Offers Stud A Sensual Cockfucking 1 - Rita Peach 9 months ago 15:00 xHand rita peach.Horny Masseuse Gets Her Pussy Filled With A Big Dick 1 - Rita Peach 9 months ago 15:00 xHand fetish, massage.Lascivious Rita Peach incredible POV sex clip 4 months ago 15:00 xHand rita peach.Brunette Mom Rita Peach - Rita On The Sofa - hardcore with cumshot 1 year ago 24:06 xTits rita peach.Rita Peach - My First Public - Rita peach 1 year ago 19:09 xTits rita peach.Rita Peach - Rita on Patrick - Rita peach 1 year ago 22:31 xTits rita peach.Lovely vixen Rita Peach sensational casting porn scene 1 year ago 24:28 XoZilla rita peach.Female Orgasms are so Beautiful 3 years ago 11:54 FreePorn8 orgasm compilation.Silky soft muff makes penis gush with joy 2 years ago 12:13 SortPorn rita peach.Massage Rooms Large natural tits and petite hands satisfy 2 years ago 22:38 BigTitsLust rita peach.Massage Rooms Rita sessions - pretty breasty masseuse 2 years ago 21:19 BigTitsLust rita peach.Rita Peach fucks Denis Reed 3 years ago 23:18 Upornia rita peach.Oily massage turns into fucking with sexy Russian chick Rita Peach 2 years ago 07:58 BravoTube massage.AMWF Rita Peach bi-racial with japanese guy 3 years ago 31:26 VideoSection rita peach.Rita Peach - gives oily massage for internal creampie cumshot 2 years ago 31:16 xTits massage.Big ass girlfriend Rita Peach - outdoor pov blowjob and hardcore 1 year ago 20:44 xTits rita peach.Rita peach casting 2 years ago 25:00 FreePorn8 rita peach.Massage Rooms All over body style full sex cook jerking big O 2 years ago 14:18 SortPorn rita peach.Massage Rooms Hawt Breasty Therapist gives him Admirable Climax 2 years ago 12:41 Amateur8 rita peach.Elite Denis and Ritas pussy licking porn 4 months ago 10:34 PornHat muscle.Rita peach amwf creampie 60fps kinpatu86 0145 3 years ago 45:12 TXXX rita peach. ![]() Rita Peach gives a handjob to her client and rides his stiff cock 2 years ago 07:57 BravoTube handjob.A Very Special Cock Massage From Hot Masseuse 1 - Rita Peach 9 months ago 15:00 xHand erotic, massage, oil.Masseuse Rubs Her Tits Across Her Clients Penis 4 months ago 15:00 xHand rita peach.A Face Full Of Pussy And A Pussy Covered In Cum 1 - Rita Peach 10 months ago 15:00 xHand erotic, massage.Massage Rooms Expert handjobs from Rita and friends make hard jizz-shotguns erupt 4 months ago 15:24 VideoSection handjob, massage, czech, orgasm.Connie Carter, Rita Peach, Eufrat Mai, Claudia Bavel, Lucy Li, Lucia Fernandez, Georgie Lyall & Bibi Fox - Best Of Big Tits Compilation 2 years ago 39:25 xTits compilation, natural.The Epic Try Not To Cum Challenge Vol.1 2 years ago 14:59 PornHat rita peach.Rita Peach, Steve Q - massage 4 months ago 21:51 SunPorno massage.Romana Czech POV Hardcore Casting - Rita peach 1 year ago 24:28 xTits natural, czech. ![]()

Chromecast was the best-selling streaming device in the United States in 2014, according to NPD Group, and over 30 million units in the product line have sold globally. According to Google, over 20,000 Google Cast–ready apps were available as of May 2015. The Google Cast SDK was released on February 3, 2014, allowing third parties to modify their software to work with Chromecast and other Cast receivers. The latest models, called Chromecast with Google TV, were the first in the product line to feature an interactive user interface and remote control a 4K model was released in September 2020, followed by a 1080p model in September 2022.Ĭritics praised the Chromecast's simplicity and potential for future app support. A third generation of the HD video Chromecast was released in October 2018. A model called Chromecast Ultra that supports 4K resolution and high dynamic range was released in November 2016. The second-generation Chromecast and an audio-only model called Chromecast Audio were released in September 2015. The first-generation Chromecast, a video streaming device, was announced on July 24, 2013, and made available for purchase on the same day in the United States for US$35 (equivalent to $43.97 in 2022). Content can be mirrored to video models from the Google Chrome web browser on a personal computer or from the screen of some Android devices. The user can control playback with a mobile device or personal computer through mobile and web apps that support the Google Cast protocol, or by issuing commands via Google Assistant later models introduced an interactive user interface and remote control.
